In an Instant Documentary
Joshua Sariñana, PhD, contributes his expertise in neuroscience and photography to the documentary In an Instant, which examines the evolving role of photography in memory and identity. Sariñana discusses how the overwhelming volume of digital images challenges our ability to process and retain memories, as the act of capturing and viewing photographs becomes increasingly disconnected. Drawing parallels between analog and digital photography, he highlights how physical media, like Polaroid film, fosters a tactile and emotional connection that modern digital platforms often lack.
Analogue Portrait Project
Joshua Sariñana’s portrait from his series Prosopagnosia was selected for the 5th annual Analogue Portrait Project, an exhibition hosted by Smashbox Studios as part of Month of Photography Los Angeles. The show, which ran in Culver City, CA, featured 25 juried film-based portraits from both emerging and established photographers, evaluated by a panel including Ron Haviv (VII Photo Agency), Kate Kuo (Los Angeles Times), and MaryAnn Camilleri (Magenta Foundation).
